The character of Chaucer serves as our guide to the action. Sometimes Chaucer narrates like he's really there in the tavern, just meeting these pilgrims for the first time, and we feel like we're right there with him. At other times, though, Chaucer is a narrator who seems to know way<span> more than he should. For example, he tells us that, when the Shipman wins a fight, he murders the loser by throwing him overboard, or that the Reeve is stealing from his master. Now is that really something these people would tell Chaucer on first meeting him? And how does Chaucer know so </span>many<span> details of the pilgrims' day-to-day lives? At these moments, Chaucer acts much more like an omniscient, or all-knowing, narrator, than one who's </span>truly<span> in the heat of the action. The reason for this choice could be that verisimilitude, or making things seem like real life, was not as important to a medieval author as it is to authors today. Instead, the narrator might choose to tell whatever he wants to tell to serve the purposes of characterization.</span>

brilliants [131]

Answer:

It means to search for multiple meanings to some words.

Explanation:

When people say to read between the lines, you have to look closely at the text. You have to think differently about meanings of words and sentences.

For example: "Johnny grinned. He passed the test! He laughed, but then he cringed, wincing."

This could be taken in different ways. You could say that he was happy he passed the test but because he was injured, he cringed when he laughed. However, you could also say that he laughed because he was happy he passed the test but he cringed because he remembered his grandma just died and he shouldn't be happy.
